Lucca is a town of magic!
On August 10, 2006, when I visited it for the first time, fifth leg of my solo Vespatour, I immediately felt at ease, almost safe, protected by the 4 Km long wall surrounding it since centuries.
I appreciated it thanks to the visit around the town with the audioguide: the walk upon the walls, the towers with the roof-gardens, the wonderful churches, the oval square, the historical locals, the elegant Ostello San Frediano, the delicious Tuscan slang and a detail representing the style and the harmony of this Italian gem: the manholes shaped like the walls perimeter!
I think could live there and I’ll get back in Lucca for sure to be able to see it from the top of the Guinigi Tower, something I didn’t get the chance to do.
I hope the photos of the sixth gallery of the Vespatour will give you back some of the Lucca’s magic.
Enjoy the photos!
